"If you are ever in need of quality representation in court, you can’t do better than Eli Heller and Hoover Kacyon as a whole. If I ever need any legal advice this is the first place I’m coming."

"Review of Hoover Kacyon LLC My experience with Hoover Kacyon, specifically with attorney Lindsay Moretta, was deeply disappointing. I relied on their firm to represent me in a custody case, but I consistently felt unsupported and misrepresented. Despite providing thorough documentation, medical records, and evidence of neglect, much of this material was not presented in court. Critical issues such as my daughter’s repeated missed medical appointments, documented anxiety, and need for therapy were either dismissed or ignored. I specifically asked that therapy be requested, but this was not raised, and later CPS independently confirmed the need for therapy. During trial, obvious inconsistencies and false testimony from the opposing party went unchallenged, including questionable financial documents and statements about my daughter’s health that could have been disproven with photos and records. I also discovered that communications between my attorney and opposing counsel often allowed them to “fix” problems quietly, undermining my ability to demonstrate ongoing neglect. Furthermore, my visitation rights were never secured in a consistent or enforceable way. Instead, parenting time was left to the other party’s discretion, leaving me and my daughter with no stability or protection. In the end, I felt I carried the weight of my case through my own research and persistence, while my attorney failed to advocate for me or my daughter’s best interests. The result has been prolonged uncertainty, unnecessary emotional strain, and—most importantly—continued risk to my child’s well-being. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend Hoover Kacyon LLC for family law matters."

"From the front office to the assistance in establishing a trust, we were very pleased with the patience and knowledge of the staff/lawyers at Hoover Kaycon. Jacob Stiger was extremely helpful and patient in the process answering all of our questions and repeating the steps for us to feel settled and comfortable with the final draft. Our trust was reviewed by other partners to assure that all details were accurate. We are grateful for the professionalism as well as the warm welcome we experienced at each meeting. We would highly recommend this law firm based on our experience."
